Why cabins hold on to smells
- Small, sealed and full of fabric. Leather seats, carpet, headliners and galley cabinets sit closed up between flights, and smells from food, pets, cigars and fuel settle in.
- Hangar time adds up. A cabin parked in a warm Texas hangar for weeks comes back stale, even when it was clean when it landed.
- First impressions are the product. For owners and charter guests, how the cabin smells when the door opens is part of the flight.
What we treat
We've treated private jets, and we treat the whole cabin in one visit:
- Passenger cabins, seating and divans
- Cockpits and crew rest areas (where your shop approves)
- Galleys and lavatories
- Baggage compartments
- Hangar offices, pilot lounges and FBO lobbies
The patented VaPURE dry fog is fine enough to drift into seat tracks, side ledges and storage bins instead of soaking them. On hard, non-porous surfaces like tray tables, galley counters and cabinet hardware it helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms, and it temporarily reduces airborne particulates as it settles. Nothing gets wet, so leather and wood veneer stay dry.
We work alongside your maintenance shop
Your aircraft's maintenance shop and the manufacturer's guidance come first. Before treatment day we share the product information with your director of maintenance or shop, follow their rules for cabin products, and treat only where they say. We don't touch aircraft systems, and the cabin stays closed while the fog works and empty for 4 hours after, then it airs out before anyone boards.
For heavy cigar or smoke smells, ask about our Odor Treatment, which follows the fog with an ozone step. The cabin stays empty for up to 48 hours, and ozone is used only if your shop approves it for your cabin materials, so we plan it around the aircraft's schedule.
How it works
- Free phone consultation. Tell us the aircraft type, where it's based and what you're noticing.
- Written quote. You get a written quote based on your cabin size before anything is scheduled.
- Treatment day. We come to your hangar or FBO, at a time that fits the flight schedule.
We serve owners and flight departments at airports across Central Texas, including Austin-Bergstrom, Georgetown, San Marcos and Lakeway Airpark.
Questions we hear
Who decides whether the fog can be used in my aircraft?
Your maintenance shop. We share the product information with your director of maintenance ahead of time, follow the shop's rules and the manufacturer's guidance for cabin products, and treat only the areas they sign off on.
Will it leave anything wet or sticky?
No. The fog is dry enough to float, so seats, carpet and veneer stay dry.
Can you treat the hangar too?
Yes. Hangar offices, pilot lounges and FBO lobbies can be treated the same day.
